Antoine Griezmann vows to improve penalties after France miss

Antoine Griezmann has vowed to work on his penalties after missing from the spot for France in their Euro 2020 win over Albania on Saturday.

The Barcelona striker hit the woodwork with his effort, the first time he has failed to convert a penalty while on international duty.

Griezmann joked after the match that he failed because his wife wasn’t watching but also added he would be looking to improve from the spot.

“I don’t know [what happened]. I don’t know,” he said.

”As I said earlier, maybe it’s because my wife didn’t watch the game!
